Nude with Gold Head Scarf

I teach Life Drawing Tuesday nights at MECA and last night I had the students tape a paintbrush to the end of a 4' long stick and stand way back from the easel. They dipped their paintbrush in a cup of black India ink that sat on the floor and drew the model from this distance. I did this drawing in that manner as a demo, then worked into it with a bit of pastel.

I am an artist, an art teacher, a mother of five children, and a grandmother of four, and I live with my husband and our two cats in the woods of Woolwich, Maine. I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com
